This ain’t your parents’ Scooby Gang. For one, this series will apparently not feature the talking dog for which Mystery Inc. is famous. But what are the other ways this Gang differs from those of the past?

Publisher Cancels Colleen Hoover Coloring Book Based on Domestic Abuse Romance Novel

The cover of the official 'It Ends With Us' coloring book by Colleen Hoover. The cover features drawings of flowers, some of which are colored in.

One of the author’s most successful books, It Ends With Us, has been held up by some as an illustration of the cycles of abuse and the importance of breaking them. However, other readers have found the novel to be manipulative and not terribly nuanced in its exploration of abuse.
